Arts set to take over "Our Town"

Wednesday, February 22, 2006Ryan Piurek

Indiana University's thriving -- and ever-growing -- arts scene will be in full bloom during ArtsWeek, the annual campus-community arts festival in Bloomington, Ind., now celebrating its 22nd year. ArtsWeek 2006, which will be held from Thursday (Feb. 23) to March 5, will offer audiences a cornucopia of opportunities to experience the best and most exciting creative work on and around campus and the community. The festivities include the world premiere of Ned Rorem's opera Our Town, as well as performances by such touring headliners as the Urban Bush Women and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

"Spectacle of memory": World premiere of Ned Rorem's opera "Our Town"

Wednesday, February 22, 2006Ryan Piurek

No curtain. No scenery. That is how Thornton Wilder opens his monumentally famous 1938 play Our Town. And in doing so, he leaves his audience to fill in the details of the play's invisible world: milk bottles and schoolbooks, morning newspapers and baseballs, doctors' bags and soda fountains, Main Street and a cemetery. And yet, in a sense, even before we take our seats, Grover's Corners already belongs to us, or perhaps more accurately, we belong to it. On Friday (Feb. 24), the Indiana University Opera Theater presents the world premiere of Ned Rorem's Our Town, the first opera ever made of Wilder's classic American drama. Read more about the creation of Our Town in this feature story, which appears in the Winter 2006 edition of IU Music magazine.

Celebrating the "Black Spirit" of Eldzier Cortor

Wednesday, February 22, 2006Ryan Piurek

While his eclecticism may have resulted in his relative public obscurity, Eldzier Cortor is widely regarded as a leading figure in the field of African American art. His work, which celebrates the black American experience, is included in several major survey books on the subject and in numerous important public and private colelctions, from the Smithsonian Institution's to Bill and Camille Cosby's. A special exhibition at the Indiana Art Museum, "Black Spirit": Works on Paper by Eldzier Cortor, is designed to reacquaint Midwesterners with the work of a native son.

"The Habit of Art" explored in new short story anthology

Wednesday, February 22, 2006Ryan Piurek

For the past 25 years, the graduate creative writing program at Indiana University Bloomington has aspired to instill in each of its writers a lifetime habit of art. Evidence of the program's success is on display in a new 25th anniversary anthology of short stories written by its graduates, The Habit of Art: Best Stories from the Indiana University Fiction Workshop. "It seems to me that the true purpose of a creative writing program is not to focus on a product the students would create, but rather to nurture and instill in them an ongoing process of being a writer," said Tony Ardizzone, former director of the Creative Writing Program, who edited and wrote the introduction to the anthology. "We want to develop a habit of writing.

Guenther’s "Clay Trends" inspired by people, nature, work, emotions

Thursday, February 16, 2006Nicole Roales

For Professor John Guenther, creating a ceramic piece means putting great detail into every work to invoke an emotion or leave behind a significant message. Guenther, the head of the IU Southeast ceramic program, 3-D design coordinator and Ronald L. Barr Gallery coordinator, showcases a variety of pieces including clay vessels, fused and kilnformed glass, and two-dimensional clay paintings in the exhibition "John Guenther: Clay Trends." Read more about Guenther and his art, which can be viewed at the historic Water Tower in Louisville, Ky., through Saturday (Feb. 25).

Charting the many rhythms of African American music

Wednesday, February 22, 2006George Vlahakis

Hip-hop, the cultural movement that began in the 1970s among African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans and Latinos in New York, is a soundtrack for many Americans in 2006. It's being embraced by almost everyone and is being used to sell nearly everything from cars to clothes and hamburgers. Hip-hop artists have some of the most popular sounds downloaded into MP3 players. "There is a tendency now to look at African American music as simply 'American music' because of its pervasive influence, particularly in popular music," said Portia Maultsby, an Indiana University professor of ethnomusicology who created the first for-credit course on hip-hop music and culture in the nation. Maultsby and fellow IU ethnomusicologist Mellonee Burnim hope their new 706-page book, African American Music: An Introduction, will create greater awareness about African American music and its origins.

New active cookie helps protect Internet users from cyber crooks

Friday, February 17, 2006Joe Stuteville
IT Icon

A new technique developed by Indiana University cybersecurity expert Markus Jakobsson provides a strong shield against identity theft and cyber attacks. His "active cookie" is designed to protect against scams involving domain spoofing. Such attacks "poison" a domain name server by planting false information in it, causing a user's request to be redirected elsewhere while telling the user they are at the correct Web site.
